Code Project Utilities (Member Contributions) FAQ

Community provided tools that are available for use with The Code Project

Introduction

This article lists the various utilities that are available for interacting with the CodeProject content.

Warning

These utilities are provided by community members, and are not maintained by The Code Project. These utilities may cease working if the main CodeProject website changes its functionality, pages layouts or any of the underlying links, styles, or content.

If you find problems with any of the tools, then bring this to the author's attention via the discussion section at the foot of the relevant article. The author may or may not continue to develop or support the utility at his/her discretion.

If you know of others, or have created one yourself, leave a message in the discussion area below, and they will be added to the list at some point.....

a) I need to protect the servers from load and I don't currently have a spare couple of webservers and DB to dedicate to this. Yet. So don't be offended if I don't offer full data mining with unlimited results. Let's focus on what will make CodeProject better.

b) There's a lot going on so we'll need to pick and choose the most important items first and then grow from there. We all know how this works: the more we use it, the more ideas we'll have in how it should be done.

c) Unless there is an overwhelming reason to, and unless there is a simple way of providing permissions, you will not be able to view others' information, only your own. On your 'My Settings' page is a Security Token. This is your key to your data. Do not give it out to anyone else.

Well, the load's probably going to be higher with HTML scraping/parsing than if we just pulled just the bits we need from a web-service.

Not sure what you mean there. I can see anyone's post count, rep scores, message list, article list etc. now. The only thing that's private is their email and password.
